I’m sort of a hypochondriac, so I’m not sure.

After having sex a few days ago the area around my clitoris has been really sore and sensitive, also sometimes itchy. Today I had some white discharge, but there is none of the urge to pee or inner-vagina itchiness that I associate with a yeast infection. Should I buy medicine just in case?

Heres the history. I went to to urgent care at 15 weeks due to a horrible vaginal irritation. I assume it was a yeast infection due to the white discharge, fishy smell, burning and itching. So the on call practionioner did not want to do a vaginal exam because she said I was too early in pregnancy. She had me swipe the inside of my vagina and she looked at the discharge under a microscope. She said that she did not find yeast, trich, or BV. He said it was just an irritation and told me to use vagisil and dove scentless soap. My irritation continued to torture me. Two weeks later I had my doctors appointment and my doc did a vaginal exam and she put the swab under a microscope and she said that I did have a mid case of BV and she prescribe me metronidozole(something like that), which is an antibotic. It was a 7 day treatment and I got relief on the 3rd day but the symptoms came back and worst. So now I am depress because I am so miserable. So yesterday at my 21 weeks check up I told my doc I am still itching burning and all, so they check my urine and found 2+ leukyocytes(something like that) so she said it was a UTI but when she did my vaginal exam she said just by the look of it, she new it was a raging yeast infection but she was too lazy to put it under the microscope. I ask about the uti they found and she said it was just due to the discharge from the yeast infection. She prescribe we 2 med. Diflucan and some yeast infection creme. The diflucan is a 2day treatment and I began the creme after I finish the diflucan if my symptoms persist. Ok so heres the question Did the antibiotics cause the yeast infection? I took my first diflucan pill yesterday and a couple hours later I notice a bunch of vaginal mucus dicharge yellowish with chunks in it, coming out of my vagina. I been having this discharge all of along but it never pour out like this. Does this mean the pill is working and thats just chunks of bacteria coming from my vagina or do i still have bv. I know some people say the bacteria just dissolves and you cant see it come out. I am not experiencing any itching or burning as of yesterday. Please share your yeast infection stories.

Idk if i have an infection, but ive had some yellowish white discharge for a while…its gross. how can i get rid of it?

i was diagnosed with a yeast infection last August. i used Monostat and it got cured but as my periods came, the infection kept coming back. i realized Monostat doesn’t permanently cure yeast infections. i also have a red, itchy, burning clitoris and sometimes i have the white discharge that follows by a yeast infection. i’ve also tried pills to get rid of this for good but it just keeps coming back. and now i am totally clueless. anyone have suggestions?

I have never had a yeast infection before. I’ve had bacterial vaginosis once several years ago and had no symptoms at that time. So this is completely new to me.

The symptoms I’m experiencing include a sore and slightly swollen vaginal area (sore and swollen labia, and soreness around the vaginal opening), these areas sting and burn when I urinate, but there is no actual pain from the urethra. It is also painful to touch and move. I am menstruating at the moment so it’s hard to gauge the discharge but prior to menstruation I had a dry white discharge that would ball up (this is normal for me before my period) and it was a little bit itchy (which it does occasionally with that kind of discharge). There has never been any odour.

I have considered several options from STD’s to having accidentally scratched myself (which has happened but was not nearly this painful) to an allergic reaction to a new type of tampon I’ve tried this cycle, but I’m really thinking it may be a yeast infection.

I’m unable to see a doctor at this time, so I’m considering just buying an OTC yeast infection treatment, but I’d like to know if anyone has any other suggestions as to what it could be?
***UPDATE***

Just to update, I got an OTC treatment, and it’s already helping! Thank you all for your advice!
